600 A amperage rating with 75/200 hp (3PH @ Std fuse/time delay) provides robust fault protection. This translates to minimized motor damage and safer startup sequences in heavy-load applications such as presses or conveyors, enabling reliable operation of large motors and feeders. The NEMA 4 painted steel enclosure enhances outdoor and wash-down resistance, reducing enclosure maintenance and corrosion risk in harsh environments. Fuse class provision Class H and fusible without neutral support safer shutdown and better selective coordination, helping to prevent nuisance trips and protecting critical equipment. Two-pole, two-wire design simplifies wiring, speeds installation, and accommodates large conductors up to 1/0-750 kcmil Cu/Al, enabling scalable feeder connections for plant expansions. With dimensions of 12.76 in depth, 63 in height, and 23 in width, plus a 157 lb weight, planning your space and handling is straightforward. UL Listed compliance and NEC barrier support streamline audits and installation across regulated facilities, giving maintenance teams confidence in long-term reliability and safety.

FAQs
The DH226FGKV uses a NEMA 4 painted steel enclosure and supports a two-pole, two-wire configuration. It accommodates large conductors up to 1/0 to 750 kcmil Cu/Al and a maximum lug range of #2 to 600 kcmil, enabling direct feeder connections. Plan adequate vertical clearance for the 63 in height and ensure barrier separation per NEC 230.62; verify UL Listed installation practices for safety and compliance.
This safety switch is UL Listed and NEC 230.62 barrier compliant, with a NEMA 4 enclosure rating for weather resistance. These certifications ensure recognized safety standards are met, simplify regulatory audits, and support reliable operation in both indoor and harsh outdoor environments. The HDSS catalog designation reinforces the expected industrial-grade performance.
Yes. The DH226FGKV is rated for 600 A and supports motor protection with an HP rating of 75 to 200 hp for 3-phase applications when using standard fuse/time-delay characteristics. This makes it appropriate for high-demand feeders and motor starters in manufacturing lines, conveyors, and processing equipment where reliable shutdown and protection are required.
Fuse management centers on the Class H fuse provision and fusible configuration without neutral, allowing straightforward replacement with compatible H-class fuses. Routine inspection should verify enclosure integrity, barrier condition, and accessibility for fuse changes. Since the device is UL Listed and designed for long service life, schedule periodic safety checks aligned with plant maintenance cycles to minimize downtime.
Anticipate a footprint of roughly 23 in wide by 63 in tall and 12.76 in depth, with a weight around 157 lb. Plan for wiring room to accommodate up to 750 kcmil Cu/Al lugs and ensure adequate clearance for maintenance. Position the unit for easy access to lugs and fuses, and align mounting with manufacturer guidelines to maintain NEMA 4 integrity in environmental conditions.
